Convert a Docker image to an executable

Does this solution still require docker tools on the target machine? #6

Apologies appearing pedantic but, is this tool able to generate executables of whatever size, that do not require the end user to have either the tools nor knowledge of Docker (therefore self-contained executables)?

Also, this generated cross-platform targets, correct (I myself am on Mac)?

Did it work for you?

@appvoid Never made use of it, sorry - if you do use it, can you feed it back here, gracious, amigo!

It worked for me if Docker was running.

Yeah, this requires that the person running the executable has docker or podman running. The main idea is that it can "launch" a container with parameters that you encode.
